[PATCH v2 2/3] drm: Measure Self Refresh Entry/Exit times to avoid thrashing

Hi Sean,

Since 5.4-rc1 my Samsung Chromebook Plus (kevin) doesn't
suspend/resume correctly, at least once every ten suspend/resume
cycles the display doesn't turn on, and when this happens the kernel
log message reports:

[   60.420230] PM: suspend exit
[   60.463866] rockchip-dp ff970000.edp: AUX CH cmd reply timeout!

...

Today I bisected the problem and pointed me to this commit. Reverting
the commit fixes the issue, but from I quick look I don't see any
obvious problem. I'll spend more time tomorrow looking at this but any
idea will be welcome.

Thanks,
 Enric
